Weird, Bobbi! (The log-in box that is, not you!)

Here's the text from the link anyway:

"The Beatles, David Bowie, Tom Jones and the Spice Girls are included on an official government Coronation playlist, published on Spotify.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has chosen 27 tracks as a suggested street party soundtrack.

Picked by the DCMS without any external input, the Coronation party selection initially featured 28 - but a Dizzee Rascal track quickly disappeared.

The grime artist was convicted last year of assaulting his former partner.

"A track featuring Dizzee Rascal was included in error - and as soon as this was identified, it was removed," a DCMS spokeswoman said.

King Charles III will be crowned on Saturday, 6 May, alongside Camilla, the Queen Consort, who has been a longstanding campaigner against domestic violence.

The playlist published on Monday seems to nod more towards the golden oldies or, as the DCMS suggests, "classics".

The singalong choice begins with The Beatles and the message Come Together, followed by Boney M's Daddy Cool.

The party playlist includes:

The Kinks: Waterloo Sunset
David Bowie: Let's Dance
Madness: Our House
Kate Bush: Running Up That Hill
Grace Jones: Slave to the Rhythm
The Proclaimers: I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)
Spice Girls: Say You'll Be There
Tom Jones: Green Green Grass Of Home
Emeli Sande: Starlight
George Ezra: Dance All Over Me
Harry Styles: Treat People With Kindness

A spokeswoman said the playlist had been selected to "celebrate British and Commonwealth artists ahead of the upcoming Coronation".

The selected songs appear on a new website with information about marking the Coronation.
[Link: https://coronation.gov.uk/ ]

It includes recipe ideas for parties, including Ken Hom's Coronation lamb and Nadiya Hussain's Coronation aubergine. Coronation chicken was invented for Queen Elizabeth's coronation, in 1953.

Details have begun to emerge about events planned for the Coronation long weekend.

This will include traditional sights such as the carriage procession and appearances on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

But there will be no lighting of beacons, ending a tradition from previous jubilees and coronations.

The Coronation service, at Westminster Abbey, is expected to be more diverse and shorter than the previous three-hour ceremony, in 1953.

On 7 May, there will be a concert and lightshow at Windsor Castle and street parties during the day.

The extra bank holiday, on 8 May, will highlight local volunteering projects."

//You might get NJ popping in to say that it shouldn't make any difference...//

Not quite Zacs. I'm just intrigued as to why Bobbi found the need to test for Covid and what she's done differently knowing she has Covid rather than any other infectious respiratory virus. But I suppose I'm just being picky.

[Bobbisox1]

Because if you have daughter , you listen to them :0) they become the mother and we the child :0)))
Total role reversal NJ filled with love

[Barsel]

NJ because if Bobbs didn't know she had it, she may have dragged herself to the pub tomorrow night and given it to others!

[Bobbisox1]

You’re right Barsel I’d just have thought heavy cold and sneeze into my inner elbow but it’s not and I would hate to pass to anyone els

[New Judge]

//...she may have dragged herself to the pub tomorrow night and given it to others!//

So would it have been \ok to drag herself to the pub and give whatever else she had - which could have been equally damaging - to others (bearing in mind that she clearly felt ill and obviously had something).

[Redhelen72]

NJ has a point, if you have a bad cold and are snotting everywhere then common sense tells you to keep yourself away from people

[Barsel]

Nj, she thought she had a cold, and that doesn't usually stop people going out as it's unlikely to kill you.

[Barsel]

Helen, snotting everywhere. really?
I don't think people go out if they are that bad.
It's all down to common sense really.

[Bobbisox1]

And nothing had developed , I certainly could not have gone out feeling like this, nor would I

[dave50]

Quite right NJ. Why are people still testing? If you feel unwell, then don't go out if you don't feel like it. Simple as that.

[Bobbisox1]

An occasional sneeze we all do, a mild headache, we all get , that’s when I’d have gone out but my mates will still be there next week

[Barsel]

Dave, If you have a cold but don't feel too bad, go out and make sure you don't sneeze into someone's drink.
If you test positive for Covid, especially if you are as old as Bobbs :-) don't go out, and if I need to explain to you why, then I give up.

[DTCwordfan]

I'm snotting everwhere with the shoos, the hacking cough, a mild headache and no eyes sinuses or temp issues, not a Covid virus in sight - must be local 'ornish aversion to invading crumpet....prevented me from seeing my younger outta-town two sisters - which may be a bloody good thing.
